You are using an ActiveX control to send mail. I can't see that you are
using Outlook functionality per se.

I suggest that you recode this segment of the code to use the .Net
framework. ActiveX controls have security issues, and XP SP2 has specific
settings the can prevent an ActiveX control from loading.

You can use the System.Web.Mail classes to send e-mail or you can use one of
the open source or free .Net e-mail classes that don't require CDO under the
covers.

I stumbled on this one using google. Haven't tried it myself. There's an
open source smtp component on sourceforge as well.
